The propaganda really couldn't be more blatant could it...
I think the stormtroopers would still win. They have superior firepower -- blasters pack a punch, especially when their enemies aren't wearing any armor -- and they have extra mobility if you consider jumptroopers (the dudes with the jetpacks, who also exist in canon) and scout troopers with their speeder bikes.
I don't think that blaster bolts in Star Wars experience notable bullet drop -- their trajectory seems to be straight -- though because they're made of plasma they probably lose their "shape" and velocity before they can go far out of trajectory if they go far enough without hitting anything.
That in mind, though, their blasters are probably more accurate.
Also, I think the sturmtruppen's tactics wouldn't work well against the Empire's stormtroopers, as the Empire's stormtroopers have tactics similar to theirs except they have better tech and more efficient communication (comms in helmets). Gas probably wouldn't work against them because of their helmet filters. If both sides have artillery, the (Galactic Empire's) stormtroopers are 100% winning.
As we see in the movies, the Empire's match in tactics was actually guerilla tactics, not being fought head on or trench warfare (which we see a bit of in Solo.)
Also I guess it depends on how you want to see the stormtroopers in Star Wars, but I feel the general consensus is just that the protagonists have mega plot armor when it comes to them, and them not being able to see in their helmets isn't canon, just a gag (some people have explained it away as the helmets' extra features allowing more visbility to cease functioning when removed improperly -- I think this might be a thing in the Legends/EU but not canon?)
But yeah Long Live The Empire
I have a question I have been debating. In a one on one battle on a battlefield, which army would win, Star Wars Stormtroopers or WW1 German Sturmtruppen? The Stormtroopers have better tech but the Sturmtruppen use better tactics.
my central padmé take is that she is someone who constantly and increasingly feels like she has blood on her hands that she can never wash off. this is the core of her deal to me. ever since i started seeing her like this she has never ceased to make perfect sense to me

why are there so many people who fetishize MLM in roleplay communities. If I see you describe a relationship with two men as "yaoi" I will run for the hills. Goodbye
